This innovative new facility, the first of its type in the UK, has the potential to transform care for older people in Hull by providing out of hospital care, reducing unnecessary hospital admissions and enabling residents to keep fit and healthy and live independently in their own homes. A new clinically led team will primarily treat 12,000 frail older people in Hull with long term conditions who have been assessed by their GP as being at risk of hospital admission. The longer term aim of the centre, which sits on the site of the former David Lister School in East Hull, is to reduce unplanned admissions by up to 20 per cent and is forecasted to save the NHS up to £5.8 million.
